Angelier Dress Watch
Dutch independent brand Angelier has launched a new automatic dress watch on Kickstarter, following their previous Classique model. This new offering features a slim, vintage-inspired design reminiscent of the 1930s-50s Calatrava 96, aimed at everyday wearability and an accessible price point.
- Priced at EUR 479 (standard Kickstarter pledge)
- 37.2mm diameter case
- 8.7mm thickness
- 45.9mm lug-to-lug
- 316L stainless steel case
- Miyota 9039 automatic movement
- 42-hour power reserve
- 50m water resistance
The watch's design is inspired by 1930s-40s dress watches, particularly the Patek Philippe Calatrava 96, with a slim profile and vintage aesthetic.
The 37.2mm case features a mix of polished and brushed finishes, with curved lugs designed to follow the wrist.
Dials are available in four finishes: Frosted Black, Frosted Ivory, Tuxedo (black and white combination), and Sunburst Blue, all lacking a date window.
Applied Breguet-style Arabic numerals, drawn by the founder, aim to capture the irregularities of traditional handwritten styles.
The automatic Miyota 9039 movement is chosen for its no-date functionality and compact construction, contributing to the watch's slimness.
The watch is assembled in the Netherlands, with components sourced from various countries.
The Kickstarter campaign has surpassed its funding goal, with delivery estimated for April 2027.
